Re: removing lots of files

[Quinn Taylor]

It's actually quite simple. Once you write your script that deletes each such directory, just replace "rm -rf" with "svn rm". This allows Subversion to register the change, then call the underlying utility to delete the directory.

I'd strongly suggest trying a dry-run (with "rm -rf") on a directory in which you wouldn't mind losing data if you goof. ;-)

Let's say I've got a "_notes" directory in every directory of my local
working copy (thank you Dreamweaver) and I didn't have an exception in
my .subversion/config when I did an initial commit.  If I script a
remove of all those folders on the local working copy, can I then have
Versions to a delete on all of them?  Or do I have to select each one
individually?

Thanks,
